MOSCOW — Prosecutors in Moscow asked a court on December 18 to sentence a local opposition politician to be sentenced to three years in prison over her involvement in anti-Kremlin rallies.<\/p>\n
The case against Yulia Galyamina, an opposition member of a Moscow district council and outspoken critic of President Vladimir Putin, was launched in late July.<\/p>\n
Investigators say Galyamina repeatedly violated rules about public gatherings when she organized and staged unsanctioned rallies and protests.<\/p>\n
Galyamina told RFE\/RL earlier that the case against her had been launched to \u201cpressure\u201d her.<\/p>\n
